was founded to perform research that will help deliver transformative innovation to agriculture in both the developed and the developing world.

In order to meet the world’s food needs, agricultural productivity needs to improve by about 70% by 2050, and this improvement can come only through ingenuity and innovation. The Global Institute for Food Security is here to help make these improvements. We are creating technologies that will have commercial utility in advanced agricultural nations and the developing world alike.
